quotations about love

love quote

To love and to live well is wished of many, but incident to few.

JOHN LYLY

Euphues and His England


If I'm meant to love people, I should love everyone.
What kind of tide can an ocean bestow
if it picks and chooses the rocks it's willing to touch?

SARAH LINDSAY

"Aunt Lydia Practices Loving Komodo Dragons", Debt to the Bone-Eating Snotflower


We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness -- and call it love -- true love.

ROBERT FULGHUM

True Love


Love is the garden of the young.

HERBERT KRETZMER

"A Heart Full of Love (Reprise)", Les Miserables


On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in her strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself--on that day love will become for her, as for man, a source of life and not of mortal danger.

Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sweet stain
Need your love
I need your love

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

My love is a bird
Happily singing on my shoulder
Would you like to be the cage
A sweet cage forever?

Love--that divine fire which was made to light and warm the temple of home--sometimes burns at unholy altars.

HORACE MANN

Thoughts

When a man falls in love suddenly his whole centre changes. Up to that point he has probably referred everything to himself--considered things from his own point. When he falls in love the whole thing is shifted; he becomes a part of the circumference--perhaps even the whole circumference; someone else becomes the centre.

We do not say of Love that he is myopic. We do not say of Love that he is astigmatic. We say quite simply, Love is blind. We might go further and say, Love is deaf. That would be a profound and obvious truth. We might go further still and say, Love is dumb. But that would be a profound and obvious lie. For love is always an extraordinarily fluent talker.

Deep Love is slow of speech and void of art;
Silence and timid tears reveal his heart.
But shallow Love is ever eloquent
To mouth his meagre passion -- and depart.

Love is an open door to a possibility of a joyful dance, getting your needs met and fulfilling someone else's needs, trusting you will be safe.

TERRELL WASHINGTON

Love is the one thing that can really sure-enough lighten all of life's dark clouds.
